I had occasionally put a small deposit on the what is now Boavada poker site which used to be Bodog. It changed just recently. I began to start having my doubts as to weather or not the site was somehow corrupt or fixed considering the abnormal things that would occur during play. When i say abnormal i guess you just need to be a player and experience what i had while playing on the site. It seems like hands were fixed and various other things. Unfortunately i can not show any physical proof as to what i am saying but making a complaint just makes me feel better. On new years day I put 30 dollars on the site and began playing. I did ok in the beginning and thought ok maybe this isn't so bad. However a couple days later once i had built the funds up it was literally like they flipped a lose switch on my playing. For two days straight they literally drained my money out. I am a pretty solid player to and i came to the definite conclusion that the site is absolutely fixed. The things that happened to me over the last two days have been nothing less than completely bogus. I don't care if anyone believes me but I am gonna make the complaint anyway as at least a warning to anyone who dares put their money on the Bovada site. They are very slick to with the way they arrange it all so beware of underlying deception. Also to top it off their payout process and methods are totally ridiculous and it takes weeks before you even get a check and you are lucky if it will even cash at a bank. Also you can only make one free cashout per calender month otherwise its a fifty dollar charge to get your money which like i said doesn't even arrive until weeks later.
These bas***** are crooked as hell. I've been playing extensively over the last week and I started to track some stats after seeing some ridiculous stuff: ive seen quads closing in on 15 times, ive seen multiple players flop sets 4 times, Frequent high pair vs high pair. but its my own experience vs fish or chasers hitting on the river at an absolutely absurd percentage that has made me realize what is happening here. The anonymous users should be the first sign that something is not right, obviously. And I just watched a guy today get pocket aces in 3/4 hands. Give me a break.
Listen fellas, bovada is a definate cheat anywhere you play! Casinos way worse than poker if you can imagine that... Im an 8 year player on this site and have really noticed the changes... Does anybody know how too prosecute and bring these yoohoos too justice... They are in the kindest words just stealing your $ period. Bots are a definate... And all else you suspect is wrong is wrong. Please lets get together and bring these crooks too justice! I used my own money playing poker until i noticed all the red flags of being robbed literally... I then got a backer too put money on my account every day for months we have been tracking my all in hands preflop-i was always over a 90% winner or higher preflop heads up against the bots, player... And won just 3.8% of these hands in ten plus one tournaments, every single day for two months all hands have been noted and are applicable under my hand history... Please do not feed these crooks your money i beg you? This is all true and there is gotta be something done about it how is a company just allowed too steal your money? Answer wheres the justice ? I got all the proof, and also have someone helping me but still cant break through few corners here and there... I will post again
After playing poker for 10+ years, I'm 100% convinced Bovada has plants in their cash games that can see all the cards.
Try sitting at an empty fixed limit cash table (say $2/$4). Within seconds (before the lobby would even refresh to tell people there is someone sitting there) someone will sit down with $20 (a very low amount for most players at this limit). This player will play absolutely perfect every time, knowing exactly when you have a good hand and when you don't. Maybe a few real players will sit, but it will be mostly plants, each sitting with the table minimum. I've played a million hands of poker and know for a fact it isn't real.
biggest rip off in the game of poker.. i did a experiment to see how many "Big" pots i would lose having the better hand pre-flop im talking pots like $50 dollar or more (i play high stakes) i lost 9 out of 10 hands when i was %80 percent or better to win the hands preflop. I quit the site after my AA was beat by a full house on the river im done.
Its simple how they scam people if you think about it... they just dish out all these sick ridiculous hands using their computer algorithm which they have set up to rake in huge amounts. so the computer automatically generates these disgusting boards leading to incredible unrealistic sickouts, you flop top pair, its never good, flop 2 pair.outs. expect to get bashed by a straight or flush on the river. i have been playing poker my entire and listen i understand bad beats i have been there but this is ridiculous. they bring in the new poker fish because they don't know what they are getting into and don't notice things like this. Good players run bad on this site more often than the should.. you cant make good plays because your always beat. it got to the point where i was basically bluffing with top pair and scared to bet because i know one of the bots or whoever probably flopped a set or is going to snap call all the way to the river and catch a straight or flush. I have lost about $500 on this site and im lucky that's it i have played on tons of other sites and now a days after black friday they are all a little wacky but Bovada is by far the worst.
Yeah screw the bovada casinos as well because at first i won a lot and then have gone downhill since. They kept rigging rigging hands after hands and lost a lot of my money. The hell with them and threatened them to put all my money back to my cc. They refused so i reported to the bank and they refunded all my money back and put red flag on them as thieves and cheaters. Do not play casinos at bovada especially blackjack. You will always win at first because that is how they entice you to play more and more and eventually you are hooked and lose all your money and be in the negative. Also, their payout is horrible! They use canada check and the banks here all not cash it but have to process it through canada first to get their money before they pay you. It takes up 6 to 8 weeks. I deposited my check on january 21st and i have not received the money today february 18! It is 4 weeks now. I told bovada...You need to make it convenient for us players to get money quick not the long way. They want our money quick but won't pay us quick!? Screw them! I told them not to use stupid canada bank! They said, well we can cash out by putting money back in your cc!? Screw them and trust us as we have experienced and don't want you to lose your money! Bovada cheats and they are not what you think! I wish people stop going there! Spread the words loud and clear!
I've finished in 1st for 6150, 9 days later finished in 5th for 23k in another tournament (1st was 75k). Cashed out over 20k in various forms of withdrawl methods (straight to Credit card, money wire transfer and a few check withdrawls). They are AA++ in my book. I used to lose on this site a lot and I used to think it was "them". Now I realized it was actually me and my poor play and relied on the variations to get me out of trouble or to suck out and more times than not, I would not hit. I changed my game around and now I am able to cash in tournaments, for large amounts, no problem. Just figure out a way to get to 1st place...
WHAT FU(KIN TOUNAMENT ON BOVADA PAYS 23K FOR 5TH EFFIN PLACE?
I assume you work for bovada because that is pure BS buddy. You're not fooling anyone. Bovada has what's coming to them very soon. Their internal emails should have been protected better. See you soon.
yea i lost thousands there but everyhand i lost was a flopped set and i got runnr runnr by a gutshot straight with nothing to shoot for on flop...theres using internal players and bots only played heads up and now when i try to dispute deposits my bank refuses to pay them back because they state that online poker is not legal where i live :/ -mike
I agree. They let you win at first. Then the endless bad beats. Then, the delay in pay Horrible site. Played 40 years in small games. Never seen anything like this. Its rigged.
I've cashed out twice here but the only thing worth playing is the sportsbook. I recommend taking a screenshot of all your sports wagers though because they will change it on you in a second. The poker use to be worth playing about 3-4 years ago but now it's garbage. Very, very obvious that they cheat players. Just like everyone else says on this thread, you start out doing good and making money but all of a sudden the bottom drops out and you end up in the hole. Also, i will say that you can go on amazing runs on this site, but that's the trick. They want you to think you are going to make money but then all of a sudden your pocket aa's get cracked by 6, 10 suited with a river flush. Wait until you hit trips on the flop and someone beats you with a straight. It's not that this stuff never happens in poker, of course it does but not as often as it happens here. My absolute favorite was the 24hr period that i lost four full houses to higher full houses. 4 in 24 hrs. Chances are 694:1 that i get a full house the chance of me losing 4 in 24 hrs is probably close to impossible. Next we have the worst of them all the casino. It's literally a stick up, like put your hands up stick up. I won't even go into that it's just the worst of them all don't waste your money. Last thing i'll say is that the cashout process is insane. They made me jump through hoops to get my money processed. They want you to sit there have the money in your account so you spend it.
At this point I believe any poster who defends bovada, to be bovada! Ive been playing poker for close to a decade. I've logged over 150, 000 hands on free sites and have multi billion dollar stacks on every one. I play live poker with friends and in casinos. I'm overall a solid player, no "pro" I suppose but positive overall. I enjoy the game and look for every outlet possible to play it specifically to broaden my perspective of the game. I fully understand the ebb and flow of poker and that one can experience extended "runs of bad luck" in this game. However what I have experienced on bovada is a complete contradiction to all my previous experience with this game. Personally I've concluded that this site can only be a scam. I feel that if you are winning on this site you are of a small percentage allowed to only to generate a false sense of legitimacy by a few players. Too many red flags, suspicious play, and way too many all ins with air post flop only to hit two miracle cards to win. Sure these things happen but not this consistently. I call b.s.

There are likely bots playing at Bovada. Hard to stop that when players are not identified by name. i found this article quite interesting regarding online poker scams. It doesn't mention Bovada, but perhaps should! http://usapokerdeals.com/avoid-online-scams/
Listen people bovada/ignition poker is a joke and nothing more. I haved cashed out at least $7.000 from this site both visa fast funds and check. As far as payouts go their a in my book but as far as having a fair game hardly ever. Have you ever noticed in a mtt how in the heck can someone go all in with the worst hand get called by 5 people with way better hands and draws just to see the guy who had the worst hand hit runner runner and because he has the biggest stack it wipes out the other 5 people out the tourney. And this happens over and over and over and literally every tourney no matter what table. How can you play in a $75 $7 buy in mtt tourney and be deep in the tourney and a guy i the 4th position goes all in for 35, 000 in chips knowing he is was above the average stack with a 3 5 off suit just to have two people to call him one with AA and the other with kk just to flop a straight on the flop. Now get the heck out of here your telling me this game is random bullcrap. No right person would do that period. Or have you ever seen the cards come out real fast when your down to the last of your money and they rub it in your face super quick just to take you out. Or watch the card pause literally on the river to give the other person what he needs. 1 percenters hit like their a 100 percent. It's a joke and nothing more.If your a winning player then you should win more not lose more. Anyone with more than 500 brain cells going in the same direction can tell that this site isnt right nor random.Or how about right before your about to place in the tourney they throw you aa knowing your short stacked to others just for you to shove and they call and crack your AA and your out and everyone places. And what else this site does is they will literally heck you over so bad that you'll go on tilt just being pissed at these thieves and then when you decide to go all in with whatever afetr you have been playing correct the whole time just to get robbed over and over then you shove all in being pissed they instantly have aces and the site makes you feel like the idiot because your playing like crap and of course you lost you went up against aces knowing that when you were playing correct you get cracked everytime. The site plays this little mind game till all funds are gone. Or have you ever been playing heads up and the opponet raises literally every hand with either something or nothing but as soon as you get aa he folds instantly and when i say he/she/superuser/bot. Now this mother effer hadn't folded the whole time but when i get a good hand he folds instantly. The sites a joke people. Rigged rigged rigged is exactly what im saying. The fairest thing on the site is when your starting out are the mtt tourneys but once it starts to get late in the tourney the rigging starts and the big stacks get favored. Anyone who reads this knows im telling the truth. Its not even a effing debate.
, , , , , HAS ANYONE EVER WON A TOURNEMENT AT BOVADA AND FINISHED IN THE MONEY, , , , , ?
Totally agree, site/games are fixed. The winners are determined before any cards are dealt (I call them the CHOSEN ONE). The Chosen One can go all in with Q/9 off against AA and because they are the Chosen One will ultimately win the hand. The "RANDOM?" card generator is not random what-so-ever. And if you try to play tight will flop you 2 pair say QQ/JJ only to give the chosen one a set of 2's on the river. Hell I don't even know if your playing against another person or a bot b/c there is not chatting on this site. And don't get me started on how rigged the blackjack is...I'm done with these b.s. site
Their live betting is fraudulent and often delayed. Beware.
I do have a lot of videos. In blackjack they deal more 5, 6, 7, 8 than statistically possible. Although professionally looking, please know you will never win money over any long term player Blackjack. Betting on sports tends to follow Vegas though so that is respectable.
Read what others have written on this site, bovada is a hack site run by corrupt people. The government ought to come in and restrict their right to operate, and fix the lives of those this site has ruined
I placed a bet for anytime score With Russell Wilson vs Green Bay playoffs +550 odds. After game they labeled the bet as a loss which I've actually Won.
i`ve made several withdrawalls over last 5 years, never ever had an issue, always on time, and I do hate Bovada, they make mistakes, placing a total different bet that I wanted to place etc etc etc.
absolutely disgusted by this rigged pile of [censored]. this is totally corrupt and unbelievable. never again.
100% SCAM same with ACR and BetOnline THEY ARE BOTS. Making calls no one in their right mind would make knowing the outcome. more than 10 different tournaments in 2 days on the bubble my donkey opponent hit a less than 2% chance river card when i have the nuts, pretty sure it worked in my favor once when we were heads up was all in preflop w 77 my opponent had AA he flops a set and it was turn 7 and river 7 his AAA gets cracked
NOT JUST IMPROBABLE BUT IMPOSSIBLE for that to happen so many times in the 36 hours i have played. times play gets rewarded constantly and beyond reason we play poker based on odds and an edge over other players and that is impossible
DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT JAMMING ACES ON THIS SITE YOUR OPPONENT WITH 92o will call and river the nuts
Yep happens to me all the time - low stack final 4, top three pay double up, kept getting raised or all in on BB, out of piston dealt KK with 5 BB left - jammed, got called - had Q/10 OS as the big stack - flop comes QQJ-5-2
I’ve cashed out $3, 000 a couple of times without a problem playing 3 card of all things. Money came by check but this was all a couple years ago. I played in a tournament last night and did make it in the money but strange things were happening. All of the other players at my table were playing basically every hand. I got AK, QQ, and JJ on consecutive hands. Pre flop everyone basically folded before I raised preflop. Throughout the night ever time I had AQ everyone at the table folded before my raise. It’s like they had some inside players watching my hands. Maybe this is just in my mind but it seemed to happen way too many times. something funny was going on.
There is nothing legitimate about Bovada Poker. When you fold your hand. The next card up a card that works for your hand. Losing on the turn or river is an expected result when you play here.
And why is it anonymous nobody sees any other players names I think they use Bots or house players that's why it's all anonymous and you can't even text the players
[censored] Bovada Poker. When you fold a hand. The next card up every single time is a card that works for you giving you false hope. I expect to lose on the turn and the river most times. Yes, I have won. However, I have lost more.
Same with me / sit and go double up $10, got crazy and caught some hands, down to final 4 where it usually happens - chip counts we me 5200, low stack was 800 and other two were somewhere around 1200, folded everything should be easy to get the W, until pocket A, K, Q showed up - no raise from me but either got raised by players who didn’t do that before or got a flopped board of 2, 5, 7 - then players with low stack bet or go all in - I call - they have j /7 and catch trips or two pair, I don’t call, stack dwindles and each time low Stack is in bad position other players call, call all in with cards like K/3 and inevitably transfer money around to keep getting closer to my chip count
The process required to add my birthday is beyond ridiculous I have to backtap 720 times in order to get to my birthday of 1960 . Why can't I just enter the date? Feel like an idiot
I been straight up and all in with you guys and y'all disable my account for someone else not me lying to y'all and I told y'all once before I had no complaints about my account and if someone was hackin it I did know cause I did not see nothing wrong with it and if anyone said it was it wasnt me
I stopped Betting on BOVADA since they showed me how cold their heart could be when scamming customers.
How in the world would you suspend my account immediately i requested for my winning?
I took me 3 month of excessive emails to BOVADA to release my account but they never respond to any.
I am glad i knew about this website a long time before now. It was on this website i saw the post that helped me recover my money from BOVADA.
When i thought BOVADA has succeeded in scamming me because it has been over 3 months and no solution, Then i saw a post on this website on the 5th of September 2022 about Paige McCubbin and that she is good at recovering funds that victims lost to scammers or bad companies.
I sent her a message on Telegram about my experience with BOVADA. She was able to help me recover my money from Bovada in less than 4 days.
I was sent an ACH deposit of $40k to my Wellsfargo bank account the 4th day.
I know there are a lot of victims online, you guys should contact her on Telegram with the name; paigecubbin.
But if anyone else found a better solution or otherwise, he/she should post about it so that others can see multiple ways to solve their problems.
I will share a screenshot of my balance for proof purpose.

Avoid this platform like the plague. You are playing against the house in poker, they put 1-3 bots on the tables to clean you out. Insane suckouts again and again. The casino table games are pure clown action. You will lose 10-15+ hands in a row.
I cannot get into contact with a live person. My account is disabled and I either want it reinstated or a refund.
I have been locked out of my account that has thousands in it. This has been for almost four months. They will not t say why? They won’t answer my emails and say they can’t get ahold on me on my phone. All lies. What recourse do I have?
Despite having 66.6% of winning in the Bovada's numbers game! I lost 75% of the time. I lost 8 in row! 6 in a row and 5 on a row! The chances of losing that many in a row was .079%! Yet, Bovada tries to defend their cheating!
Bovada will scam you for every. Play slots, they'll let you at first then you will a Zero chance at winning. They have a numbers game, they cheat so much they dont care anymore. They have been caught, they dont care.
